Patient's question:
I have been sexually active for 4 years. Recently, I've noticed that my periods are irregular, and my vaginal discharge is abnormal and has been increasing more than usual. The discharge is like cottage cheese and has a fishy odor. I have some lower back pain. I've heard that common gynecological diseases often manifest as irregular periods, but I don't know which one I might have.Doctor's answer:
There are many types of common gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis, cervical inflammation, and gynecological cysts. Vaginitis can be further divided into trichomoniasis, candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and so on. Since you currently have cheesy white discharge again, it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by a fungal infection. You can go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.In daily life, pay attention to local hygiene, wear breathable cotton underwear, and relax your mood. In addition to receiving proper medical treatment for gynecological diseases, patients also need to pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
